PENDLETON
Pupils Barely Had Time to Make
Their Escape Before the Crash
Great Credit Dae Teacher
and Janitor.
PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 23. A terrible
disaster was narrowly averted at the
public school building yesterday afternoon.
The plastering on the celling pf the room
occupied by the third grade gave way,
and camo to thefloor with a great crash
a minute after pupils and teacher had
made their escape. That no one was In
jured was due to the presence of mind of
the teacher. Miss Elsie Folsom, and the
Janitor Douglas Glenn, who marched the
little people out just before the ceiling fell
to the floor. One of the pupils called the
attention of the teacher to the fact that
on corner of the celling was sagging, and
she called the janitor, who advised the
Immediate removal of the children. They
had but stepped out the door when the
cra,sh came, and left not a lath or a bit
of plaster hanging on the celling. The
Toom was in the basement, and was not
originally intended to be used for a
schoolroom, having been fitted up after
the building was erected.

Per Cent of Affirmations.
SALEM. Jan. 23. An examination of the
records of the Supremo Court, as con
tained -in the last four volumes of the Su

59 per cent of the cases decided upon the
merits during the time of those reports
have been affirmed.
Comment is frequently heard concern
ing the number of affirmances or reversals
of the decisions of the lower court, and It
is not uncommon to hear the remark that
one or another of the Circuit Judges is
usually reversed by the Supreme Court.

THE AGRICULTURAL HALL, CONSTRUCTION OF WHICH HAS JUST BEEN BEGUN.
CORVALXJS,' Jan. 23. The Agricultural Hall at the Agricultural College, tho construction of which haa Just been begun. Is
to be completed by September 10. The contractor Is H. Snooks, of Salem. The structure. Including the cost of building and the
Installation of steam heat and other modern conveniences, will cost In the neighborhood of $40,000. Tho basement Is to be ot
granite, and the other stories of sandstone from Lincoln County. The building will be 123 feet lonar, S3 feet wide and a few
Inches over 39 feet high. The basement Is to contain two laboratories, boiler-room and other accommodations for the dairy,
workroom, curing-room, Uvestockroom, and a recltatlon-room. for students taking a course In dairying. On the first floor there
will be two classrooms, four large laboratories, an assembly-room for the exhibition of and lectures on livestock, the director's
ofilce, office for the station chemist, library and balance-room, darkroom, wardrobe each for girls and boys, lncubator-room and
laboratories. Tho second floor le to be given to seven laboratories, four lecture-rooms, preparation-rooms, herbarium, and of
fices for the botanist and entomologist. The attic Is to accommodate a museum and literary societies. Tho building will house
the agricultural, chemical, entomological, horticultural, botanical and bacteriological departments.
In order to ascertain the percentage of '
affirmances, a computation has been made
covering the decisions published in the
volumes mentioned. This, It Is believed
covers a sufficient number of cases to give
a fair view ot what the average results
of appeals to the Supreme Court really
are. At the same time, figures have been"
prepared showing the record of each of
the Circuit Judges whose decisions bave
hppn nrtpil nnon and roDorted In these
volumes. From these figures it appears
that ex-Judge H. H. Hewitt has had the
largest percentage of affirmances. Of
those Judges who are now on the bench.
Judge Sears has the best percentage, with
Judge Burnett a close second. It should
not be understood, however, that this Is
an attempt to show by mathematical dem
onstration which of the Circuit Judges Is
most competent. There are many circum
stances which render the figures valueless
for anything of this kind. For example,
there are a number of Judges Hamilton,
George, Boise, Benson, Hale and McGinn
who have but a small number of cases
Vi a -nA-A. tnn1nA1 In 4 Via rannrfo otim.
LllCirW Ci W IIIWUUU AAA HID A l?J-t. Jfc'
marlzed. A silent Increase In the number !
of reversals would therefore make a great
difference In the percentage. Judge Hen
ry L. Benson, for example, has but two
cases reviewed, and both of these were re
versed. If two more cases had been re
viewed, they might have been affirmed, In
which" case his percentage of affirmances
would be 50. Then, too, the matter of lo-
cation Is material. In an outlying district,
far from Salem or Pendleton, where the
Supreme Court holds sessions, the liti
gants are not likely to appeal to the Su
preme Court unless they feel certain of
a reversal. In near-by counties, the de
feated party can send attorneys to the
Supreme Court with much less expense
and appeals merely for delay are more
commen.
But while these figures arc not to be
given much weight where affected by
these circumstances, the averages shown , breaker, carrying the mall from Thunder

It Is not to b( concluded from the fore
going figures that Judge Sears, for ex
ample, has decided only 70 per cent of hla
cases correctly. Vhe foregoing table In
cludes only decisions from which appeals
were taken and makes no allowance foi
the large number of cases in which no
appeals wcro taken. It would scarcely be
practicable to ascertain the .number of
cases each Judge has actually tried during
the satne perlbd, for the Supreme Court Is
some IS months behind with Its work,
some attorneys permit cases to drag along
after they are appealed, and no definite
period In Circuit Court work could be
designated as corresponding with the pe
riod covered by volumes 85, 36, 37 and SS of
the Supreme Court reports. Not long ago
a case was decided by the Supreme Court

M'KINLEY DAY ADDRESS.
Governor Geer Asks That Jannary 20
Be So Observed.
SALEM, Jan. 23. Governor Geer today
Issued the following address' to the people
of Oregon, asking their observance of Mc
Klnley Day, January 29, when contribu
tions to the McKInley mopument fund
will be made:
To tho Peopa of Oregon: As a suitable tes
timonial to' the affectionate regard In which
the- people of the United States hold the mem
ory of the late President McKInley, the "Mc
KInley National Memorial Association" was
organised several months ago. for the purpose
of raising the necessary funds for the erection
of a monument at his tomb In Canton. O.
The estimated cost of this monument Is 9630,
000, of -which sum his natlyo State of Ohio
proposes to raise $100,000.
I have been requested by tho subcommittee of
Ohio, of which Governor Nash Is the chair
man, that "Wednesday, the 20th of January,
which will be the 59th anniversary of the birth
of William McKInley, be set apart by all the
schools as "McKInley day," to be observed with
some special exercises, and that tho children
be given upon that day an opportunity to con
tribute whatever they may feel disposed ana
ablo to the memorial fund. It Is also re
quested that on the Sunday preceding the
20th of January, all the churches have special
memorial services, and that they give oppor
tunity to. all persons attending to contribute to
the fund.
William McKInley was a life-long friend of
tho poorer people of this country, and they
T"r 0 dubt manifest their appreciation of
this fact by availing themselves of this op
portunity tor contribute, no matter how small
the sum. toward the construction of this mon
ument to his memory. Ho was yin especial
friend of the children, which was not only
evidenced In his affectionate home attach
ments, but on all public occasions where oUr
little folks were a factor In the exercises.
Tho people of Oregon, for whom the lato
President always hod a high regard, should
respond cheerfully to this proposal to contrib
ute their share to this memorial fund on two
designated days. In order that It may not bo
neglected or allowed, to further lag. Largo
sums are not expected, since the smaller the
sums the more people will have an Interest m
and be a part of this National tribute to one
of our great Presidents.
I do not feel disposed to urge this matter,
for all offerings should be prompted by the
heart, and especially tho children are hereby
merely notified that on the annUersary ot Mc
Klnley's birthday the opportunity will be open
to contribute whatever small mite may be at
their disposal. If no more than a penny each,
1 While some of our best people may not feel
' able to contribute anything to this fund, we
' have thousands who should respond with cheer-
ful liberality. Our own fair state should not
be a laggard In this very patriotic movement.
